Went to visit the sister and bro-in-law and check out his vintage Lego sets. He’s the a complete Black Seas Barracuda! M-Tron also complete, no box or instructions and a ~95% complete Monorail Transport System. Front flap of that box has been torn and lost 😞

But it’s super cool seeing these late 80s/early 90s sets in person! Think he might have some castle stuff still in storage too!

I told him I’m surprised he’s keep a lot of his toys as complete as they are since childhood. He’s got all his original video game systems (Nintendo, sega, Super Nintendo, etc.) with original boxes. Same for all his games! And vintage 80s transformers and GI Joes still sealed. It’s crazy! Anyways, just felt like sharing part of his collection.

Lego pirates of the caribbean was my favourite game of all time. Im hoping to collect the whole crew! As it was my favourite part of that game.

If anyone knows anyone else making customs of the crew, please let me know!

My aim is to have the whole crew classic game style ready for the release of the rumoured flying dutchman!

Black Pearl, Fortuna, Sea Serpent & LoTR Pirate Ghost ship

1. The Black Pearl is very well designed.
2. The upper deck and interior space are very well thought-out with the Black Pearl.
3. On the other hand, the Fortuna has a ton of deck space and a ton of minifigs to play with.
4. The color is nicer withe the Fortuna too.
5. The sails on the Black Pearl are better secured also.
6. Both ships are top-notch indeed. So fun to play with.

Here’s a start to my sacking of st Augustine moc! It has the Cagway pirate ship, 3 town building, and the fort! Though at the time it was a wooden for I really wanted to make it stone so it’s based on the one there now (idk how to spell it) the water will be very detailed with waves and the town side of the land will be raised

I've just finished this imperial frigate, inspired somewhat by the HMS Surprise from Master and Commander. Thanks for taking a look, and all feedback is appreciated!

Been slowly building out my Emerald Islands Atol series for a while now, and this is the culmination of it — 14 individual pieces combined into one continuous island: lagoons, jungle canopy, palm groves, a hidden cave with a tiki booby trap, outrigger canoes, a native workshop camp, a banana grove fire gathering scene, and a full rainforest section with a river crossing and vine-draped trees.

Every module/tree was designed from the start to connect edge-to-edge with the others, so the whole thing can be reconfigured or split back into standalone scenes depending on space — this is just one way to lay it all out.

12251 pieces total, 75x100x30cm footprint. Happy to answer questions on any specific section — the tiki booby trap mechanism in Floral Lake II gets asked about a lot, and the rainforest canopy layering took a few tries to get right.

I was really inspired by the LEGO 76440 and wanted to build my own medieval carrack, using only the elements from the original set.
I initially planned to build a cog, as it would be more typical for the medieval period, but I simply liked the shape of a carrack more. I like to imagine this as one of the early carracks to sail the seas, which is why I kept the battlements at the bow and stern.
All built using only parts from the original set.

Hi everyone!!

Wanted the share with you a MOC that I made. Its called Broadside's Stronghold. Its a combination of two sets 6259, Broadside's Brig. Buying two wasnt intentional btw hahaha. Hope you like it!!

I was asked how to make these before, I figured I would make a guide and hope it helps someone out.

Thank you all and have a great day.

After my take on a 2 mast clipper i wanted to return the rule of the sea back to the pirates. I went through my boxes and found hull pieces enough for a 7 piece ship. This Mastodon will become the flagship of my collection once it is complete. Needless to say, i don't have the space for this one, but i'll cross that sea when i get to it.

So far i have built the structure for the captain's quarters. The color scheme is set and i have plenty of ideas for this one. Obviously the frontpiece is also sorted. This is one of those "i build it a little by little and make modifications when i come up with them" projects. My last ship took me about 2 full days to build, but it was almost half the size. Last pic is of my clipper moc for reference. I'll update this when i progress.

Lego Kraken Ship — Small Stern Cabin or Open Stern?

https://ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/48a005cb-1644-45f9-b631-4e9d1588d9fa

I’m working on a small medieval sailing ship for the new LEGO Kraken warrior faction, inspired by the coastal rivalry between the Kraken and Griffin factions introduced with the Minifigure Vending Machine 21358.

I’ve been imagining the Kraken warriors as seafaring warriors whose shipbuilding evolved from Viking longships into larger single-mast medieval cog ships. The ship is designed to fit the scale and style of classic LEGO Castle while giving the new Kraken faction a way to venture out onto the high seas. I recently made a change to the stern, and I’m undecided between two versions:

1. With the small stern cabin — it gives the ship a place to store treasure, supplies, goods, or even a captured Griffin Knight.

2. Without the cabin — it leaves the stern more open and gives the deck a little more room for minifigure play and battles. This design is simpler and has fewer pieces.

The rest of the ship includes a working ballista, movable helm, retractable anchor, custom Kraken sail, and four minifigures including a Kraken Captain, Kraken Archer, Kraken Warrior, and a Griffin Knight captive carrying a mysterious enchanted letter.

Which version do you prefer — WITH the small cabin or WITHOUT it? And why?

I’d especially love your support and feedback from fellow LEGO Castle / LEGO Ideas fans. I’m trying to decide which version makes the most sense before I finalize the design. Please share with your friends! Thank you!

I’m making progress on the second part of Tortuga using pieces from my spare parts, and I’ve had to modify quite a lot because I didn’t have the right pieces.

I’d love to get your opinions on the roofs, especially the black one. Maybe adding some vegetation would help break up that “big black block just sitting there” look?

The problem is that I’ve already had to add vegetation to the roof on the right because I ran out of cones, so I cheated a bit by using modified bricks to attach some foliage and actually finish it.

I’m worried that adding more might make the whole thing look too busy. Or maybe I could use a different colour for the vegetation? I currently have coral, yellow, dark green and olive green leaves available.

I’d really appreciate some opinions because I’m not completely happy with how it looks right now, but I can’t quite figure out exactly what’s bothering me.

Completed the stern modification to get 2 more stud length in captain's quarters, as well as add a 3rd side window and reduce the angle of the stern transom. This is in addition to the 4 stud width increase for the whole ship, so the captain went from cosplaying a backpacker in a hostel to a proper quarters.

Next plan is to further increase the bow section by 2 stud length.

I am building a large Spanish port diorama. I heavily modified the Wiseblocks Havana Harbor set as the base for this section. Need some minifigs to arrive and some 2x3 blue and white tiles to hang from the line running overhead to complete the town scene, but this is what I have so far.

To come: Imperial fortress to the right, highly elevated from the harbor and surrounded with rocks, then a watchtower island in the bottom right area. To the left over the bridge will be a fish market and a couple shanties, then a pirate hideaway island in the southern water.

I wondered why the bicorne is placed parallel to the shoulders (En Bataille) in the instructies of Fortuna, instead of front to back (fore and aft, or En Colonne), that would be more appropriate around the historical time period ~ 1798, seeing there are also golden epaulettes on the shoulders.

I’ve changed therefore the side to side to a front to back (en colonne), because it seems the right way to do so
